PICTORIAL: A History of Soap Stars on the Cover of Playgirl

Interestingly, a post we did back in 2008 about Playgirl magazine moving to the web is one of the most read articles we have ever written. At the time, we included a few covers with soap opera actors featured. Since this post continues to be read three years later week after week we thought it was time to update for those interested. So here is the We Love Soaps flashback at the soap stars featured on the cover of Playgirl since the magazine launched in 1973.

That first cover with Steve Bond also had John Gibson in the bottom center who was on Y&R for a few years. He was involved with Nikki back when she was a stripper. Sometimes they did stripper routines together. I think the character's name was Cash. In real life he was engaged to Vanna White and died in a plane crash.

One you missed is the June 1995 issue with Brent Jasmer (Sly Donovan) from The Bold & the Beautiful on the cover. Saw it at an old magazine store yesterday and immediatley thought of this article. ..lol!
